the blood of shaun smith and ambassador chris stevens. there is a republican who didn't have to be taught this lesson the hard way. he knew who the ambassador to libya was before he was killed. and that republican rose on the senate floor today where he proudly called chris stevens his friend. >> it's with a heavy heart that i rise today to speak about the horrific attack yesterday on the u.s. consulate in benghazi that killed four american citizens. the two confirmed thus far to be among the dead are shaun smith and air force veteran turned state department information management officer and ambassador chris stevens, one of america's finest and bravest foreign service officers. i didn't know shaun smith. i know he's a great american who served his country. but i had gotten to know chris stevens quite well. and in ambassador chris stevens' death, the libyan people have lost someone in their democratic revolution. the american people have lost a selfless and dedicated servant of our interests and values and i have lost a friend. my thought
